JENNISON ASSOCIATES LLC
CODE OF ETHICS,
POLICY ON INSIDER TRADING
AND
PERSONAL TRADING POLICY
AS AMENDED DECEMBER 6, 1999
<PAGE>
SECTION I
CODE OF ETHICS
FOR
JENNISON ASSOCIATES LLC
This Code sets forth rules, regulations and standards of conduct for the
employees of Jennison Associates LLC. It bears the approval of the Corporation's
Board of Directors and applies to Jennison Associates and all subsidiaries.
The Code incorporates The Prudential Insurance Company of America's ethics
policies as well as additional policies specific to Jennison Associates LLC.
Prudential's Code of Ethics, "Making the Right Choices", may be found as Exhibit
Q in Jennison Associates' Compliance Manual.
The prescribed guidelines assure that the high ethical standards long
maintained by Jennison continue to be applied. The purpose of the Code is to
preclude circumstances which may lead to or give the appearance of conflicts of
interest, insider trading, or unethical business conduct. The rules prohibit
certain activities and personal financial interests as well as require
disclosure of personal investments and related business activities of all
directors, officers and employees.
ERISA and the federal securities laws define an investment advisor as a
fiduciary who owes his clients a duty of undivided loyalty, who shall not engage
in any activity in conflict with the interests of the client. As a fiduciary,
our personal and corporate ethics must be above reproach. Actions which expose
any of us or the organization to even the appearance of impropriety must not
occur.
The excellent name of our firm continues to be a direct reflection of the
conduct of each of us in everything we do.
Being fully aware of and strictly adhering to the Code of Ethics is the
responsibility of each Jennison Associates employee.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Employees may become privy to confidential information (information not
generally available to the public) concerning the affairs and business
transactions of Jennison, companies researched by us for investment, our present
and prospective clients, suppliers, officers and other staff members.
Confidential information also includes trade secrets and other proprietary
information of the Corporation such as business or product plans, systems,
methods, software, manuals and client lists. Safeguarding confidential
information is essential to the conduct of our business. Caution and discretion
are required in the use of such information and in sharing it only with those
who have a legitimate need to know.
A) PERSONAL USE: Confidential information obtained or developed as a result
of employment with the Corporation is not to be used or disclosed for the
purpose of furthering any private interest or as a means of making any personal
gain. Use or disclosure of such information could result in civil or criminal
penalties against the Corporation or the individual responsible for disclosing
such information.
Further guidelines pertaining to confidential information are contained in
the "Policy Statement on Insider Trading." (Set forth on page 8 in the section
dedicated specifically to Insider Trading.)
B) RELEASE OF CLIENT INFORMATION: Information concerning a client which has
been requested by third persons, organizations or governmental bodies may only
be released with the consent of the client involved. All requests for
information concerning a client (other than routine credit inquiries), including
requests pursuant to the legal process (such as subpoenas or court orders) must
be promptly referred to Karen E. Kohler. No information may be released, nor
should the client involved be contacted, until so directed by Karen E. Kohler.
In order to preserve the rights of our clients and to limit the firm's
liability concerning the release of client proprietary information, care must be
taken to:
* Limit use and discussion of information obtained on the job to normal
business activities.
* Request and use only information which is related to our business needs.
* Restrict access to records to those with proper authorization and
legitimate business needs.
* Include only pertinent and accurate data in files which are used as a
basis for taking action or making decisions.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
You should avoid actual or apparent conflicts of interest - that is, any
personal interest outside the Company which could be placed ahead of your
obligations to our clients, Jennison Associates or The Prudential Insurance
Company of America. Conflicts may exist even when no wrong is done. The
opportunity to act improperly may be enough to create the appearance of a
conflict.
We recognize and respect an employee's right of privacy concerning personal
affairs, but we must require a full and timely disclosure of any situation which
could result in a conflict of interest or even the appearance of a conflict.
Whether or not a conflict exists will be determined by the Company, not by the
employee involved.
To reinforce our commitment to the avoidance of potential conflicts of
interest, the following rules have been adopted:
1) YOU MAY NOT, without first having secured prior approval from the Board
of Directors, serve as a director, officer, employee, partner or trustee - nor
hold any other position of substantial interest - in any outside business
enterprise. You do not need prior approval, however, if the following three
conditions are met: one, the enterprise is a family firm owned principally by
other members of your family; two, the family business is not doing business
with Jennison or The Prudential; and three, the services required will not
interfere with your duties or your independence of judgment. Significant
involvement by employees in outside business activity is generally unacceptable.
In addition to securing prior approval for outside business activities, you will
be required to disclose all relationships with outside enterprises annually.
* Note - The above deals only with positions in business enterprises. It
does not effect Jennison's practice of permitting employees to be associated
with governmental, educational, charitable, religious or other civic
organizations. These activities may be entered into without prior consent, but
must still be disclosed on an annual basis.
2) YOU MAY NOT act on behalf of Jennison in connection with any transaction
in which you have a personal interest. This rule does not apply to any personal
interest resulting from your participation in any Jennison or Prudential plan in
the nature of incentive compensation, or in the case of a plan which provides
for direct participation in specific transactions by Jennison's Board of
Directors.
3) YOU MAY NOT, without prior approval from the Board of Directors, have a
substantial interest in any outside business which, to your knowledge, is
involved currently in a business transaction with Jennison or The Prudential, or
is engaged in businesses similar to any business engaged in by Jennison. A
substantial interest includes any investment in the outside business involving
an amount greater than 10 percent of your gross assets, or $10,000 if that
amount is larger, or involving an ownership interest greater than 2 percent of
the outstanding equity interests. You do not need approval to invest in
open-ended registered investment companies such as investments in mutual funds
and similar enterprises which are publicly owned.
4
<PAGE>
4) YOU MAY NOT, without prior approval of the Board of Directors, engage in
any transaction involving the purchase of products and/or services from
Jennison, except on the same terms and conditions as they are offered to the
public. Plans offering services to employees approved by the Board of Directors
are exempt from this rule.
5.) YOU MAY NOT purchase an equity interest in any competitor. Employees
and their immediate families are also prohibited from investing in securities of
a client or supplier with whom the staff member regularly deals even if the
securities are widely traded.
OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
ISSUES REGARDING THE RETENTION OF SUPPLIERS: The choice of our suppliers
must be based on quality, reliability, price, service, and technical advantages.
GIFTS: Jennison employees and their immediate families should not solicit,
accept, retain or provide any gifts or favors which might influence decisions
you or the recipient must make in business transactions involving Jennison or
which others might reasonably believe could influence those decisions. Even a
nominal gift should not be accepted if, to a reasonable observer, it might
appear that the gift would influence your business decisions.
Modest gifts and favors, which would not be regarded by others as improper,
may be accepted or given on an occasional basis. Examples of such gifts are
those received as normal business courtesies (i.e. meals or golf games);
non-cash gifts of nominal value (such as received at Holiday time); gifts
received because of kinship, marriage or social relationships entirely beyond
and apart from an organization in which membership or an official position is
held as approved by the Corporation. Entertainment which satisfies these
requirements and conforms to generally accepted business practices also is
permissible. Please reference the Gifts and Entertainment section of Jennison
Associates' Compliance Manual for a more detailed explanation of Jennison's
policy towards gifts and entertainment.
IMPROPER PAYMENTS - KICKBACKS: In the conduct of the Corporation's
business, no bribes, kickbacks, or similar remuneration or consideration of any
kind are to be given or offered to any individual or organization or to any
intermediaries such as agents, attorneys or other consultants, for the purpose
of influencing such individual or organization in obtaining or retaining
business for, or directing business to, the Corporation.
BOOKS, RECORDS AND ACCOUNTS: The integrity of the accounting records of the
Corporation is essential. All receipts and expenditures, including personal
expense statements must be supported by documents that accurately and properly
describe such expenses. Staff members responsible for approving expenditures or
for keeping books, records and accounts for the Corporation are required to
approve and record all expenditures and other entries based upon proper
supporting documents so that the accounting records of the Corporation are
maintained in reasonable detail, reflecting accurately and fairly all
transactions of the Corporation including the
5
<PAGE>
disposition of its assets and liabilities. The falsification of any book, record
or account of the Corporation, the submission of any false personal expense
statement, claim for reimbursement of a non-business personal expense, or false
claim for an employee benefit plan payment are prohibited. Disciplinary action
will be taken against employees who violate these rules, which may result in
dismissal.
LAWS AND REGULATIONS: The activities of the Corporation must always be in
full compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It is the Company's policy
to be in strict compliance with all laws and regulations applied to our
business. We recognize, however, that some laws and regulations may be ambiguous
and difficult to interpret. Good faith efforts to follow the spirit and intent
of all laws is expected. To ensure compliance, the Corporation intends to
educate its employees on laws related to Jennison's activities which may include
periodically issuing bulletins, manuals and memoranda. Staff members are
expected to read all such materials and be familiar with their content.
OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES & POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS: Jennison Associates does not
contribute financial or other support to political parties or candidates for
public office except where lawfully permitted and approved in advance in
accordance with procedures adopted by Jennison's Board of Directors. Employees
may, of course, make political contributions, but only on their own behalf; they
will not be reimbursed by the Company for such contributions.
Legislation generally prohibits the Corporation or anyone acting on its
behalf from making an expenditure or contribution of cash or anything else of
monetary value which directly or indirectly is in connection with an election to
political office; as, for example granting loans at preferential rates or
providing non-financial support to a political candidate or party by donating
office facilities. Otherwise, individual participation in political and civic
activities conducted outside of normal business hours is encouraged, including
the making of personal contributions to political candidates or activities.
Employees are free to seek and hold an elective or appointive public
office, provided you do not do so as a representative of the Company. However,
you must conduct campaign activities and perform the duties of the office in a
manner that does not interfere with your responsibilities to the firm.

<PAGE>
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE & CONSEQUENCES IF VIOLATION OF THE CODE OCCURS:
Each year all employees will be required to complete a form certifying that
they have read this booklet, understand their responsibilities, and are in
compliance with the requirements set forth in this statement.
This process should remind us of the Company's concern with ethical issues
and its desire to avoid conflicts of interest or their appearance. It should
also prompt us to examine our personal circumstances in light of the Company's
philosophy and policies regarding ethics.
Certain key employees will be required to complete a form verifying that
they have complied with all company procedures and filed disclosures of
significant personal holdings and corporate affiliations.
If any staff member has reason to believe that any situation may have
resulted in a violation of any provision of the Code of Ethics, whether by that
staff member or by another, the matter must be reported promptly to Karen E.
Kohler.
Violation of any provision of the Code of Ethics by any staff member may
constitute grounds for disciplinary action, including dismissal.

SECTION II
INSIDER TRADING
As a result of recent legislative events, particularly the enactment of the
Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988, the Securities
Exchange Acts and the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 require that all
investment advisors establish, maintain and enforce policies and supervisory
procedures designed to prevent the misuse of material, non-public information by
such investment advisor, and any associated person.
This section of the Code sets forth Jennison Associates' policy statement
on insider trading. It explains some of the terms and concepts associated with
insider trading, as well as the civil and criminal penalties for insider trading
violations. In addition, it sets forth the necessary procedures required to
implement Jennison Associates' Insider Trading Policy Statement.
This policy applies to all Jennison Associates' employees, as well as the
employees of all affiliated companies.

JENNISON ASSOCIATES' POLICY STATEMENT
AGAINST INSIDER TRADING
When contemplating a transaction for your personal account, or an account
in which you may have a direct or indirect personal or family interest, we must
be certain that such transaction is not in conflict with the interests of our
clients. Specific rules in this area are difficult, and in the final analysis,
each of us must make our own determination as to whether a transaction is in
conflict with client interests. Although it is not possible to anticipate all
potential conflicts of interest, we have tried to set a standard that protects
the firm's clients, yet is also practical for our employees. The Company
recognizes the desirability of giving its corporate personnel reasonable freedom
with respect to their investment activities, on behalf of themselves, their
families, and in some cases non-client accounts (i.e. charitable or educational
organizations on whose boards of directors corporate personnel serve). However,
personal investment activity may conflict with the interests of the Company's
clients. In order to avoid such conflicts -- or even the appearance of conflicts
-- the Company has adopted the following policy:
Jennison Associates LLC forbids any director, officer or employee from
trading, either personally or on behalf of clients or others, on material,
non-public information or communicating material, non-public information to
others in violation of the law. Said conduct is deemed to be "insider trading."
Such policy applies to every director, officer and employee and extends to
activities within and outside their duties at Jennison Associates.
Every director, officer, and employee is required to read and retain this
policy statement. Questions regarding Jennison Associates' Insider Trading
policy and procedures should be referred to Karen E. Kohler or John H. Hobbs.
EXPLANATION OF RELEVANT TERMS AND CONCEPTS
Although insider trading is illegal, Congress has not defined "insider",
"material" or "non-public information". Instead the courts have developed
definitions of these terms. Set forth below are very general descriptions of
these terms. However, it is usually not easily determined whether information is
"material" or "non-public" and, therefore, whenever you have any questions as to
whether information is material or non-public, consult with Karen E. Kohler. Do
not make this decision yourself.
1) WHO IS AN INSIDER?
9
<PAGE>
The concept of an "insider" is broad. It includes officers, directors and
employees of a company. A person may be a "temporary insider" if he or she
enters into a special confidential relationship in the conduct of a company's
affairs and as a result is given access to information solely for the company's
purposes. Examples of temporary insiders are the company's attorneys,
accountants, consultants and bank lending officers, as well as the employees of
such organizations. Jennison Associates and its employees may become "temporary
insiders" of a company in which we invest, in which we advise, or for which we
perform any other service. An outside individual may be considered an insider,
according to the Supreme Court, if the company expects the outsider to keep the
disclosed non-public information confidential or if the relationship suggests
such a duty of confidentiality.
2) WHAT IS MATERIAL INFORMATION?
Trading on inside information is not a basis for liability unless the
information is material. Material Information is defined, as:
* Information, for which there is a substantial likelihood, that a
reasonable investor would consider important in making his or her investment
decisions, or
* Information that is reasonably certain to have a substantial effect on
the price of a company's securities.
Information that directors, officers and employees should consider material
includes, but is not limited to: dividend changes, earnings estimates, changes
in previously released earnings estimates, a significant increase or decline in
orders, significant new products or discoveries, significant merger or
acquisition proposals or agreements, major litigation, liquidation problems, and
extraordinary management developments.
In addition, knowledge about Jennison Associates' trading information and
patterns may be deemed material.
3) WHAT IS NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION?
Information is "non-public" until it has been effectively communicated to
the market place. One must be able to point to some fact to show that the
information is generally available to the public. For example, information found
in a report filed with the SEC, or appearing in Dow Jones, REUTERS ECONOMICS
SERVICES, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL or other publications of general circulation
would be considered public.
4) MISAPPROPRIATION THEORY
Under the "misappropriation" theory liability is established when trading
occurs on material non-public information that is stolen or misappropriated from
any other person. In U.S. V. CARPENTER, a columnist defrauded THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL by stealing non-public information from the JOURNAL and using it for
trading in the securities markets. Note that the misappropriation
10
<PAGE>
theory can be used to reach a variety of individuals not previously thought to
be encompassed under the fiduciary duty theory.
5) WHO IS A CONTROLLING PERSON?
"Controlling persons" include not only employers, but any person with power
to influence or control the direction of the management, policies or activities
of another person. Controlling persons may include not only the Company, but its
directors and officers.
PENALTIES FOR INSIDER TRADING VIOLATIONS
Penalties for trading on or communicating material non-public information
are more severe than ever. The individuals involved in such unlawful conduct may
be subject to both civil and criminal penalties. A controlling person may be
subject to civil or criminal penalties for failing to establish, maintain and
enforce Jennison Associates' Policy Statement against Insider Trading and/or if
such failure permitted or substantially contributed to an insider trading
violation.
Individuals can be subject to some or all of the penalties below even if he
or she does not personally benefit from the violation. Penalties include:
a. CIVIL INJUNCTIONS
b. TREBLE DAMAGES
c. DISGORGEMENT OF PROFITS
d. JAIL SENTENCES - Under the new laws, the maximum jail sentences for
criminal securities law violations increased from 5 years to 10 years.
e. CIVIL FINES - Persons who committed the violation may pay up to
three times the profit gained or loss avoided, whether or not the person
actually benefited.
f. CRIMINAL FINES - The employer or other "controlling persons" may
pay up to $2,500,000.
g. Violators will be barred from the securities industry.

SECTION III
IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES & POLICY
The following procedures have been established to assist the officers,
directors and employees of Jennison Associates in preventing and detecting
insider trading as well as to impose sanctions against insider trading. Every
officer, director and employee must follow these procedures or risk serious
sanctions, including possible dismissal, substantial personal liability and
criminal penalties. If you have any questions about these procedures you should
consult Karen E. Kohler or John H. Hobbs.
1) IDENTIFYING INSIDE INFORMATION
Before trading for yourself or others, including client accounts managed by
Jennison Associates, in the securities of a company about which you may have
potential inside information, ask yourself the following questions:
i. IS THE INFORMATION MATERIAL? *Would an investor consider this
information important in making his or her investment decisions? ** Would this
information substantially effect the market price of the securities if generally
disclosed?
ii. IS THE INFORMATION NON-PUBLIC? * To whom has this information been
provided? ** Has the information been effectively communicated to the
marketplace by being published in REUTERS, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, or other
publications of general circulation?
If, after consideration of the above, you believe that the information is
material and non-public, or if you have questions as to whether the information
is material and non-public, you should take the following steps:
i. Report the matter immediately to Karen E. Kohler or John H. Hobbs.
If neither are available you should contact Mr. Louis Begley, our attorney at
Debevoise and Plimpton ((212)909-6000).
ii. Do not repurchase or sell the securities on behalf of yourself or
others, including client accounts managed by Jennison Associates.
iii. Do not communicate the information inside or outside Jennison
Associates, other than to Karen E. Kohler, John H. Hobbs, or Mr. Begley our
outside counsel.
iv. After Karen E. Kohler, John H. Hobbs, or Mr. Begley has reviewed
the issue, you will be instructed to continue the prohibitions against trading
and communication, or you will be allowed to trade and communicate the
information.
12
<PAGE>
2) RESTRICTING ACCESS TO MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION
Information that you identify as material and non-public may not be
communicated to anyone, including persons within Jennison Associates LLC, except
as provided above. In addition, care should be taken so that such information is
secure. For example, files containing material non-public information should be
locked; access to computer files containing non-public information should be
restricted.
Jennison employees have no obligation to the clients of Jennison Associates
to trade or recommend trading on the basis of material, non-public (inside)
information in their possession. Jennison's fiduciary responsibility to its
clients requires that the firm and its employees regard the limitations imposed
by Federal securities laws.
3) ALLOCATION OF BROKERAGE
To supplement its own research and analysis, to corroborate data compiled
by its staff, and to consider the views and information of others in arriving at
its investment decisions, Jennison Associates, consistent with its efforts to
secure best price and execution, allocates brokerage business to those
broker-dealers in a position to provide such services.
It is the firm's policy not to allocate brokerage in consideration of the
attempted furnishing of material non-public (inside) information. Employees, in
recommending the allocation of brokerage to broker-dealers, should not give
consideration to the provision of any material non-public (inside) information.
The policy of Jennison Associates as set forth in this statement should be
brought to the attention of such broker-dealer.
4) RESOLVING ISSUES CONCERNING INSIDER TRADING
If doubt remains as to whether information is material or non-public, or if
there is any unresolved question as to the applicability or interpretation of
the foregoing procedures and standards, or as to the propriety of any action, it
must be discussed with Karen E. Kohler or John H. Hobbs before trading or
communicating the information to anyone.
This code will be distributed to all Jennison Associates personnel.
Periodically or upon request, Karen E. Kohler will meet with such personnel to
review this statement of policy, including any developments in the law and to
answer any questions of interpretation or application of this policy.
From time to time this statement of policy will be revised in the light of
developments in the law, questions of interpretation and application, and
practical experience with the procedures contemplated by the statement.

SECTION IV
JENNISON ASSOCIATES PERSONAL TRADING POLICY
1. GENERAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES
The management of Jennison Associates is fully aware of and in no way
wishes to deter the security investments of its individual employees. The
securities markets, whether equity, fixed income, international or domestic,
offer individuals alternative methods of enhancing their personal investments.
Due to the nature of our business and our fiduciary responsibility to our
client funds, we must protect the firm and its employees from the possibilities
of both conflicts of interest and illegal insider trading in regard to their
personal security transactions.
We have adopted the following policies and procedures on employee personal
trading to insure against violations of the law. These policies and procedures
are in addition to those set forth in the Code of Ethics and the Policy
Statement Against Insider Trading.
2. RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS
Jennison Associates, as an investment advisor, is required by Rule 204-2 of
the under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to keep records of every
transaction in securities in which any of its personnel has any direct or
indirect beneficial ownership, except transactions effected in any account over
which neither the investment adviser nor any advisory representative of the
investment adviser has any direct or indirect influence or control and
transactions in securities which are direct obligations of the United States,
mutual funds and high-quality short-term instruments. This includes transactions
for the personal accounts of an employee, as well as, transactions for the
accounts of other members of their immediate family (including the spouse, minor
children, and adults living in the same household with the officer, director, or
employee) for which they or their spouse have any direct or indirect influence
or control and trusts of which they are trustees or other accounts in which they
have any direct or indirect beneficial interest or direct or indirect influence
or control, unless the investment decisions for the account are made by an
independent investment manager in a fully discretionary account. Jennison
recognizes that some of its employees may, due to their living arrangements, be
uncertain as to their obligations under this Personal Trading Policy. If an
employee has any question or doubt as to whether they have direct or indirect
influence or control over an account, he or she must consult with the Compliance
Department as to their status and obligations with respect to the account in
question.
In addition, Jennison, as a subadviser to investment companies registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (e.g., mutual funds), is required by
Rule 17j-1 under the
14
<PAGE>
Investment Company Act to review and keep records of personal investment
activities of "access persons" of these funds, unless the access person does not
have direct or indirect influence or control of the accounts. An "access person"
is defined as any director, officer, general partner or Advisory Person of a
Fund or Fund's Investment Adviser. "Advisory Person" is defined as any employee
of the Fund or investment adviser (or of any company in a control relationship
to the Fund or investment adviser) who, in connection with his or her regular
functions or duties, makes, participates in, or obtains information regarding
the purchase or sale of investments by a Fund, or whose functions relate to the
making of any recommendations with respect to the purchases or sales. Therefore,
Jennison's "access persons" and "advisory persons" include the following:
portfolio managers, investment analysts, traders, officers and directors.
1) ACCESS PERSONS: PORTFOLIO MANAGERS, INVESTMENT ANALYSTS, TRADERS, AND OTHER
JENNISON OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

1. the title, number of shares and principal amount of
each investment in which the Access Person had any direct or
indirect beneficial ownership;

16
<PAGE>
The report must disclose the following material:
* Name and type of account - single, joint, trust,
partnership, etc.
* A statement disclosing the general purpose of the account
(e.g., as a trustee of XYZ College, I have agreed in
accordance with the school's Board of Directors to invest
funds on behalf of XYZ for the benefit of its annual
scholarship fund).
* The institution, bank, or otherwise, where the account is
maintained.
B.) A report, including confirmation and quarter-end brokerage

indirect influence or control), and trusts of which they are
trustees or any other account in which they have a beneficial
interest and have participated or direct or indirect influence or

his or her employer's own code of ethics, a copy of which and any
amendments thereto shall have been made available to Jennison's
Compliance Department. The Compliance Department of the
non-employee director's employer must represent quarterly to the
Jennison Compliance Department that the non-employee director has
complied with the recordkeeping and other procedures of its code
of ethics during the most recent calendar quarter. Such
representation shall also state that such policies and procedures
shall be deemed adequate for compliance with both Prudential's
and Jennison's Codes of Ethics. If there have been any violations
of the employer's code of ethics by such non-employee director,
the employer's Compliance Department must submit a detailed
report of such violations and what remedial action, if any was
taken.
17
<PAGE>
B.) Non-employee directors shall be exempt from supplying a copy of
Schedule B, D, and Schedule E from their federal income tax
returns.
C.) Additionally, all non-employee directors shall be exempt from the
pre-clearance procedures as described below.

All directors, officers, and employees of Jennison Associates may need to
obtain clearance from the Personal Investment Committee prior to effecting any
securities transaction in which they or their immediate families (including the
spouse, minor children, and adults living in the same household with the
officer, director, or employee) for which they or their spouse have any direct
or indirect influence or control, have a beneficial interest on behalf of a
trust of which they are trustee, or for any other account in which they have a
beneficial interest or direct or indirect influence or control. Determination as
to whether or not a particular transaction requires pre-approval should be made
by consulting the "Compliance and Reporting of Personal Transactions Matrix"
found on Exhibit A.
Please note, voluntary tender offers are a recent addition to the
"Compliance and Reporting of Personal Transactions" matrix. They are both a
reportable transaction and one that requires pre-approval. Approval of tendering
shares into a tender offer shall be determined on a case-by-case basis by the
Personal Investment Committee.
The Personal Investment Committee will make its decision of whether to
clear a proposed trade on the basis of the personal trading restrictions set
forth -below. A member of the Compliance Department shall promptly notify the
officer, director, or employee of approval or denial to trade the requested
security. Notification of approval or denial to trade may be verbally given as
soon as possible; however, it shall be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of
the verbal notification. Please note that the approval granted will be valid
ONLY for that day in which the approval has been obtained; provided, however,
that approved orders for securities traded in certain foreign markets may be
executed within 2 business days from the date pre-clearance is granted,
depending on the time at which approval is granted and the hours of the markets
on which the security is traded are open. In other words, if a trade was not
effected on the day for which approval was originally sought, a new approval
form must be re-submitted on each subsequent day in which trading may occur. Or,
if the security for which approval has been granted is traded on foreign
markets, approval is valid for an additional day (i.e., the day for which
approval was granted and the day following the day for which approval was
granted).
Only transactions where the investment decisions for the account are made
by an independent investment manager in a fully discretionary account will be
exempt from the pre-clearance procedures. Copies of the agreement of such
discretionary accounts, as well as transaction statements or another comparable
portfolio report, must be submitted on a quarterly basis to the Compliance
Department for review and record retention.
18
<PAGE>
WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR INTENDED SECURITIES ACTIVITIES MUST BE FILED FOR
APPROVAL PRIOR TO EFFECTING ANY TRANSACTION FOR WHICH PRIOR APPROVAL IS
REQUIRED. The name of the security, the date, the nature of the transaction
(purchase or sale), the price, the name and relationship to you of the account
holder (self, son, daughter, spouse, father, etc.), and the name of the
broker-dealer or bank involved in the transaction must be disclosed in such
written notice. Such written notice should be submitted on the Pre-Clearance
Transaction Request Forms (Equity/Fixed Income) which can be obtained from the
Compliance Department. If proper procedures are not complied with, action will
be taken against the employee. All violations shall go before the Personal
Investment Committee and Jennison's Compliance Committee. The violators may be
asked to reverse the transaction and/or transfer the security or profits gained
over to the accounts of Jennison Associates. In addition, penalties for personal
trading violations shall be determined in accordance with the penalties schedule
set forth in Section 5, "Penalties for Violating Jennison Associates' Personal
Trading Policies." Each situation and its relevance will be given due weight. If
non-compliance with the pre-clearance procedure becomes repetitive, dismissal,
by the Board of Directors, of the employee can result.
4. PERSONAL TRADING POLICY
The following rules, regulations and restrictions have been set forth by
the Board of Directors and apply to the personal security transactions of all
employees. These rules will govern whether clearance for a proposed transaction
will be granted. These rules also apply to the sale of securities once the
purchase of a security has been pre-approved and completed.
No director, officer or employee of the Company may effect for himself, an
immediate family member (including the spouse, minor children, and adults living
in the same household with the officer, director, or employee) for which they or
their spouse have any direct or indirect influence or control, or any trust of
which they are trustee, or any other account in which they have a beneficial
interest or direct or indirect influence or control any transaction in a
security, or recommend any such transaction in a security, of which, to his/her
knowledge, the Company has effected the same for any of its clients, if such
transaction would in any way conflict with, or be detrimental to, the interests
of such client, or if such transaction was effected with prior knowledge of
material, non-public information.
Except in particular cases in which the Personal Investment Committee has
determined in advance that proposed transactions would not conflict with the
foregoing policy, the following rules shall govern all transactions (and
recommendations) by all corporate personnel for their own accounts, for their
immediate family's accounts (including accounts of the spouse, minor children,
and adults living in the same household with the officer, director, or employee)
for which they or their spouse have any direct or indirect influence or control,
and any trust of which they are trustee, or any other account in which they have
a beneficial interest or direct or indirect influence or control. The provisions
of the following paragraphs do not necessarily imply that the Personal
Investment Committee will conclude that the transactions or recommendations to
which they
19
<PAGE>
relate are in violation of the foregoing policy, but rather are designed to
indicate the transactions for which PRIOR APPROVAL should be obtained to ensure
that no conflict occurs.
A. PERSONAL TRADING BY ALL EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYEES
(1.) Neither any security recommended, or proposed to be recommended
to any client for purchase, nor any security purchased or
proposed to be purchased for any client may be purchased by any
corporate personnel if such purchase will interfere in any way
with the orderly purchase of such security by any client.
(2.) Neither any security recommended, or proposed to be recommended
to any client for sale, nor any security sold, or proposed to be
sold, for any client may be sold by any corporate personnel if
such sale will interfere in any way with the orderly sale of such
security by any client.
(3.) No security may be sold after being recommended to any client for
purchase or after being purchased for any client, and no security
may be purchased after being recommended to any client for sale
or after being sold for any client, if the sale or purchase is
effected with a view to making a profit on the anticipated market
action of the security resulting from such recommendation,
purchase or sale.
(4.) In order to prevent even the appearance of a violation of this
rule or a conflict of interest with a client account , YOU SHOULD
REFRAIN FROM TRADING IN THE SEVEN (7) CALENDAR DAYS BEFORE AND
AFTER Jennison trades in that security.
If an employee trades during a blackout period, disgorgement may be
required. For example, if an Employee's trade is pre-approved and
executed and subsequently, within seven days of the transaction, the
Firm trades on behalf of Jennison's clients, the Jennison Personal
Investment Committee shall review the personal trade in light of firm
trading activity and determine on a case by case basis the appropriate
action. If the Personal Investment Committee finds that a client is
disadvantaged by the personal trade, the trader may be required to
REVERSE THE TRADE AND DISGORGE TO THE FIRM ANY DIFFERENCE DUE TO ANY
INCREMENTAL PRICE ADVANTAGE OVER THE CLIENT'S TRANSACTION.
B. SHORT-TERM TRADING PROFITS
All directors (both employees and non-employees), officers, and
employees of Jennison Associates are prohibited from profiting in
their own accounts and the accounts of their immediate families
(including the spouse, minor children, and adults living in the same
household with the officer, director, or employee) for which they or
their spouse have any direct or indirect influence or control or any
trust of which they are a trustee, or for any other account in which
they have a beneficial interest or direct or indirect influence or
control from the purchase and
20
<PAGE>
sale, or the sale and purchase of the same or equivalent securities
within 60 calendar days . Any profits realized from the purchase
and sale or the sale and purchase of the same (or equivalent)
securities within the 60 day restriction period shall be disgorged
to the firm, net of taxes.
"Profits realized" shall be calculated consistent with
interpretations under section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, which require
matching any purchase and sale that occur with in a 60 calendar day
period across all accounts over which a Jennison director, officer or
employee has a direct or indirect beneficial interest (including
accounts that hold securities held by members of a person's immediate
family sharing the same household) over which the person has direct or
indirect control or influence without regard to the order of the
purchase or the sale during the period. As such, a person who sold a
security and then repurchased the same (or equivalent) security would
need to disgorge a profit if matching the purchase and the sale would
result in a profit. Conversely, if matching the purchase and sale
would result in a loss, profits would not be disgorged.
The prohibition on short-term trading profits shall not apply to
trading of index options and index futures contracts and options on
index futures contracts on broad based indices. However, such
transactions remain subject to the pre-clearance procedures and other
applicable procedures. A list of broad-based indices is provided on
Exhibit B.
C. No purchase of a security by any of the corporate personnel shall be
made if the purchase would deprive any of Jennison's clients of an
investment opportunity, after taking into account (in determining
whether such purchase would constitute an investment opportunity) the
client's investments and investment objectives and whether the
opportunity is being offered to corporate personnel by virtue of his
or her position at Jennison.
D. None of the corporate personnel may purchase NEW ISSUES OF EITHER
COMMON STOCK or CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES except in accordance with item
E below. This prohibition does not apply to new issues of shares of
open-end investment companies. All corporate personnel shall also
obtain prior written approval of the Personal Investment Committee in
the form of a completed "Request to Buy or Sell Securities" form
before effecting any purchase of securities on a `PRIVATE PLACEMENT'
basis. Such approval will take into account, among other factors,
whether the investment opportunity should be reserved for Jennison's
clients and whether the opportunity is being offered to corporate
personnel by virtue of his or her position at Jennison.
E. Subject to the pre-clearance and reporting procedures, corporate
personnel may purchase securities on the date of issuance, provided
that such securities are acquired in the secondary market. Upon
requesting approval of such transactions, employees must acknowledge
that he or she is aware that such request for approval may not be
submitted until AFTER the security has been issued to the public and
is trading at prevailing market prices in the secondary market.
Requests for
21
<PAGE>
approval of such transactions must be accompanied by a copy of the
final prospectus. Additionally, trade confirmations of executions of
such transaction must be received by the Compliance Department NO
LATER THAN THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON THE DAY FOLLOWING EXECUTION OF
SUCH TRADE. If such trade confirmation is not received, the employee
may be requested to reverse (subject to pre-approval) the trade, and
any profits or losses avoided must be disgorged to the firm.
F. Subject to the preclearance and reporting procedures, corporate
personnel may effect purchases upon the exercise of rights issued by
an issuer PRO RATA to all holders of a class of its securities, to the
extent that such rights were acquired from such issuer, and sales of
such rights so acquired. In the event that approval to exercise such
rights is denied, subject to preclearance and reporting procedures,
corporate personnel may obtain permission TO SELL such rights on the
last day that such rights may be traded.
G. Any transactions in index futures contracts and index options,
including those effected on a broad-based index, are subject to the
preclearance and reporting requirements.
H. No director, officer, or employee of Jennison Associates may profit in
their personal securities accounts or the accounts of their immediate
families (including the spouse, minor children, and adults living in
the same household with the officer, director, or employee) for which
they or their spouse have any direct or indirect influence or control
or any trust of which they are a trustee, or for any other account in
which they have a beneficial interest or direct or indirect influence
or control by short selling or purchasing put options on securities
that represent a position in any portfolios managed by Jennison on
behalf of its clients. Any profits realized from such transactions
shall be disgorged to the Firm, net of taxes. Put options, short sales
and short sales against the box are subject to the preclearance rules.
I. No employee, director, or officer of Jennison Associates may
participate in investment clubs.
J. While participation in employee stock purchase plans and employee
stock option plans need not be pre-approved, copies of the terms of
the plans should be provided to the Compliance Department as soon as
possible so that the application of the various provisions of the
Personal Trading Policy may be determined (E.G., pre-approval,
reporting, short-term trading profits ban). Corporate personnel must
obtain pre-approval for any discretionary disposition of securities or
discretionary exercise of options acquired pursuant to participation
in an employee stock purchase or employee stock option plan.
Nondiscretionary dispositions of securities or exercise are not
subject to pre-approval. Additionally, corporate personnel should
report holdings of such securities and options on an annual basis.
22
<PAGE>
K. Subject to pre-clearance, long-term investing through direct
stock purchase plans is permitted. The terms of the plan, the initial
investment, and any purchases through automatic debit must be provided
to and approved by the Personal Investment Committee. Any changes to
the original terms of approval, E.G., increasing, decreasing, or
termination of participation in the plan, as well as any sales or
discretionary purchase of securities in the plan must be submitted for
pre-clearance. Provided that the automatic monthly purchases have been
approved by the Personal Investment Committee, each automatic monthly
purchase need not be submitted for pre-approval. "Profits realized"
for purposes of applying the ban on short-term trading profits will be
determined by matching the proposed discretionary purchase or sale
transaction against the most recent discretionary purchase or sale, as
applicable, not the most recent automatic purchase or sale (if
applicable). Additionally, holdings should be disclosed quarterly.
EXCEPTIONS TO THE PERSONAL TRADING POLICY
Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, exceptions to certain
provisions (e.g., blackout period, pre-clearance procedures, and short-term
trading profits) of the Personal Trading Policy may be granted on a case by case
basis when no abuse is involved and the equities of the situation strongly
support an exception to the rule.
Investments in the following instruments are not bound to the rules and
restrictions as set forth above and may be made without the approval of the
Investment Compliance Committee: governments, agencies, money markets,
repurchase orders, reverse repurchase orders and open-ended registered
investment companies.
All employees, on a quarterly basis, must sign a statement that they,
during said period, have been in full compliance with all personal and insider
trading rules and regulations set forth within Jennison Associates' Code of
Ethics, Policy Statement on Insider Trading and Personal Trading Policy.

5. PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF JENNISON ASSOCIATES' PERSONAL TRADING POLICIES
Violations of Jennison's Personal Trading Policy and Procedures, while in
most cases may be inadvertent, must not occur. It is important that every
employee abide by the policies established by the Board of Directors. Penalties
will be assessed in accordance with the schedules set forth below. THESE,
HOWEVER, ARE MINIMUM PENALTIES. THE FIRM RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TAKE ANY OTHER
APPROPRIATE ACTION, INCLUDING TERMINATION.
All violations and penalties imposed will be reported to Jennison's
Compliance Committee on a monthly basis. In addition, the Compliance Committee
will provide the Board of Directors with an annual report which at minimum:
(1) summarizes existing procedures concerning personal investing and
any changes in procedures made during the preceding year;
(2) identifies any violations requiring significant remedial action
during the preceding year; and
(3) identifies any recommended changes in existing restrictions or
procedures based upon Jennison's experience under its policies
and procedures, evolving industry practices, or developments in
applicable laws and regulations.
TYPE OF VIOLATION
A. PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO SECURE PRE-APPROVAL
The minimum penalties for failure to pre-clear personal securities
transactions include POSSIBLE REVERSAL OF THE TRADE, POSSIBLE DISGORGEMENT OF
PROFITS, AS WELL AS THE IMPOSITION OF ADDITIONAL CASH PENALTIES. Please note
that subsections 2 and 3 have been applied retroactively from its effective
date.
1. FAILURE TO PRE-CLEAR PURCHASE
Dependingon the circumstances of the violation, the individual may be
asked to reverse the trade (i.e., the securities must be sold). Any
profits realized from the subsequent sale, net of taxes must be turned
over to the firm. PLEASE NOTE: The sale or reversal of such trade must
be submitted for pre-approval.
2. FAILURE TO PRE-CLEAR SALES THAT RESULT IN LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS
Depending on the circumstances of the violation, the firm may require
that profits realized from the sale of securities that are defined as
"long-term capital gains" by Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") section 1222
and the rules thereunder, as amended, to be turned over to the firm,
subject to the following maximum amounts:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All other JALLC Personnel 25% of the realized long-term gain,
irrespective of taxes, up to $3,000.00
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
3. FAILURE TO PRE-CLEAR SALES THAT RESULT IN SHORT-TERM CAPITAL GAINS
Depending on the nature of the violation, the firm may require that
all profits realized from sales that result in profits that are defined as
"short-term capital gains" by IRC section 1222 and the rules thereunder, as
amended. Please note, however, any profits that result from violating the
ban on short-term trading profits are addressed in section 5.C. "Penalties
for Violation of Short-Term Trading Profit Rule."
4. ADDITIONAL CASH PENALTIES

Board of Directors of Directors
</TABLE>
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, JENNISON RESERVES THE RIGHT TO NOTIFY THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS FOR ANY VIOLATION.
Penalties shall be assessed over a rolling three year period. For example, if
over a three year period (year 1 through year 3), a person had four violations,
two in year 1, and one in each of the following years, the last violation in
year 3 would be considered a fourth offense. However, if in the subsequent year
(year 4), the person only had one violation of the policy, this violation would
be penalized at the third offense level because over the subsequent three year
period (from year 2 through year 4), there were only three violations. Thus, if
a person had no violations over a three year period, a subsequent offense would
be considered a first offense, notwithstanding the fact that the person may have
violated the policy prior to the three year period.
B. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS
Such violations occur if Jennison does not receive a broker confirmation within
ten (10) business days following the end of the quarter in which a transaction
occurs or if JACC does not routinely receive brokerage statements. Evidence of
written notices to brokers of Jennison's requirement and assistance in resolving
problems will be taken into consideration in determining the appropriateness of
penalties.

</TABLE>
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, JENNISON RESERVES THE RIGHT TO NOTIFY THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS FOR ANY VIOLATION.
C. PENALTY FOR VIOLATION OF SHORT-TERM TRADING PROFIT RULE
Any profits realized from the purchase and sale or the sale and
purchase of the same (or equivalent) securities within 60 calendar days
shall be disgorged to the firm, net of taxes. "Profits realized" shall be
calculated consistent with interpretations under section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which requires matching any
purchase and sale that occur with in a 60 calendar day period without
regard to the order of the purchase or the sale during the period. As such,
a person who sold a security and then repurchased the same (or equivalent)
security would need to disgorge a profit if matching the purchase and the
sale would result in a profit. Conversely, if matching the purchase and
sale would result in a loss, profits would not be disgorged.
D. OTHER POLICY INFRINGEMENTS WILL BE DEALT WITH ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.
PENALTIES WILL BE COMMENSURATE WITH THE SEVERITY OF THE VIOLATION.
Serious violations would include:
A. Failure to abide by the determination of the Personal Committee.
B. Failure to submit pre-approval for securities in which Jennison
actively trades.
E. DISGORGED PROFITS
Profits disgorged to the firm shall be donated to a charitable organization
selected by the firm in the name of the firm. Such funds may be donated to
such organization at such time as the firm determines.
